Türk P&I Launches Yacht Assistance
Türk P&I Insurance has announced the launch of its new Yacht Assistance service as of January 1, 2026, designed to enhance the comfort of yacht owners and provide fast, professional solutions whenever needed.
24/7 Continuous Support
Developed in partnership with the experienced firm Xone SuperYacht Group, this comprehensive assistance package aims to deliver round-the-clock support to yacht owners and captains. The service offers rapid and effective intervention in unexpected maritime situations, ensuring safer, more comfortable, and stress-free time at sea.
Wide Geographic Coverage
The Yacht Assistance service will be available not only along the Turkish coastline but also across a broader region, including the Greek Islands and the Adriatic route, providing yacht owners with reliable support throughout their journeys.
Statement from Ufuk Teker
At the signing ceremony, Türk P&I Insurance General Manager Ufuk Teker said:
“In commercial shipping, the importance of insurance is well understood, as it is tied to trade and continuity. For yacht owners, however, going to sea is often not a plan but a dream—about enjoyment, relaxation, and creating memories with loved ones. Yet the sea is full of surprises. A small malfunction or an unexpected issue can turn a pleasant day into stress. Yacht assistance is crucial because it allows owners to focus solely on enjoying the sea while we take care of everything else. It is an invisible but invaluable companion that eliminates the worry of ‘what if something goes wrong?’ even before setting sail.”
Statement from Levent Baktır
Levent Baktır, founder of Xone SuperYacht, added:
“As Mr. Teker emphasized, in commercial shipping insurance and assistance services are inseparable. At XONE, we are pleased to bring this understanding into the world of yacht owners. With our assistance program covering Turkish waters, the Aegean, the Mediterranean, and even the Adriatic, we aim to ensure yacht owners feel safe and enjoy their time at sea.”
Scope of the Service
The Yacht Assistance program includes:
-
Technical support, accident and breakdown management
-
Marina, restaurant, and route recommendations
-
Weather advisory services
-
Guidance on yacht usage upon request
-
Annual maintenance services
With this initiative, Türk P&I Insurance and Xone SuperYacht Group aim to provide yacht owners with security, comfort, and a sustainable service approach, positioning Yacht Assistance as a strong yet invisible companion at sea.
